Consistent soaking rain has fallen on a number of firegrounds, including the Howes Swamp Fire north of Colo Heights bringing some relief for our dedicated volunteers.
Due to safety reasons crews haven't been on the fireground whilst the rain has been falling. However, once conditions improve, reconnaissance will be conducted to gauge how much of an impact the rain has had on the fireground.

A good amount of rain has fallen over the Howes Swamp fire at Hawkesbury. After the cloud clears, aircraft will scan the area for hotspots. This fire has burnt almost 42,000 hectares since 23 October.
